A business reference architecture defines what a business does to enable value creation, rather than how. This deck presents the US State Government Business Reference Architecture: a ready-made business capability map, organized around seven policy-to-delivery value streams plus a band of shared services and enabling functions, decomposed into Level 1 and Level 2 capabilities.
The seven value streams are:
- Public Safety & Justice
- Democratic Governance & Civic Affairs
- Education & Workforce Development
- Economic & Community Development
- Environmental Sustainability & Natural Resource Management
- Transportation & Infrastructure
- Health & Human Services
Use the editable Level 1 capability map template to customize and validate the map for your organization, align IT to the business so technical capabilities trace back to business capabilities, and feed the companion Excel tool for AI-assisted workflows.
